LengyelSubject: Space Shuttle Program/External Tank (ET)/Super Light Weight Tank (SLWT) Description of Driving Event: Increased Space Shuttle Main Engine
2、 (SSME) Power Setting for Intact AbortsLesson(s) Learned: The design requirements for the SLWT include operating with a maximum Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) power of only 106%, even at abort conditions. The Space Shuttle program has approved a baseline plan to examine the possibility of certifyi
3、ng the Space Shuttle for intact aborts at a 109% SSME power setting.Recommendation(s): NASA should complete its evaluation of a 109% power setting for intact aborts as soon as practicable and reevaluate the ability of the SLWT to accommodate this higher power setting.Evidence of Recurrence Control E
4、ffectiveness: NASA concurs with the ASAP recommendation. Specific evaluations with regards to orbiter and SLWT have already been completed or are near completion. The Block II Space Shuttle main engine (SSME) certification program will provide the capability for intact abort at 109 percent power lev
5、el. This certification program is planned to be complete by October 1, 1998. A change request to baseline the 109 percent intact abort loads and thermal environments shall be released by the end of 1998 following completion of Block II SSME 109 percent certification.Documents Related to Lesson: Prov
